One of the form players in world cricket, Satterthwaite broke records this year as she scored four centuries in a row in matches against Pakistan and Australia.

Once primarily a left-hand bat, Satterthwaite’s bowling has also developed to a point where she set another record in January as the first player in the WBBL to score a hat-trick, taking 5-17 while playing for Hobart.

“I’ve learnt a lot over the years and I got dropped (from the national team) three years ago which probably makes you look at yourself and where you’re at with your game.

“It probably makes you work a bit harder and ... I’ve gone from strength to strength since then.”

Satterthwaite is one of eight new players at the Renegades, the recruiting haul also including one-time Australian internationals Jess Duffin (formerly Cameron) and Emma Inglis who have crossed from the Melbourne Stars.

The Renegades finished seventh last season but Satterthwaite said the club was confident those additions and the development of younger players including Sophie Molineux, Molly Strano and Maitlan Brown would hold it in good stead.
